About SharePoint

SharePoint is Microsoft's comprehensive enterprise content management and collaboration platform that serves as the unified document and team workspace hub across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Teams use SharePoint to store documents in structured libraries, manage lists and workflows, collaborate in real-time with version control, set granular permissions, and automate business processes with Power Automate and AI-powered Copilot integration.

The SharePoint Microsoft Graph API enables developers to:

• Authenticate using OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow for user-delegated access or client credentials flow for app-only authentication

• Access and manage sites, document libraries, lists, and content types

• Upload and download files, manage metadata, and track version history

• Create and update list items, columns, and custom views

• Set permissions at site, library, folder, or file level

• Subscribe to webhooks for real-time notifications on document and list changes

• Integrate with Microsoft 365 services including Teams, OneDrive, and Outlook

Why Integrate SharePoint with Emergent?

Connecting SharePoint directly often requires setting up Microsoft app registration, managing OAuth 2.0 flows, handling access and refresh tokens, parsing Microsoft Graph API responses, understanding site hierarchies and content types, implementing permission models, wiring webhooks, building retry logic, and creating a user interface. Each integration can quickly turn into a significant engineering project.

Emergent removes that complexity:

• Build by prompt: Describe the document management app you want and the SharePoint data you need. Emergent automatically scaffolds the UI, orchestration, data models, and integrations.

• Authentication-aware setup: Emergent understands SharePoint's Microsoft Graph API authentication methods (OAuth 2.0 with various flows) and guides you through secure credential management with encrypted key vaults.

• Content-aware data mapping: Emergent introspects your SharePoint sites, understands document libraries, lists, metadata columns, content types, and permissions, and helps you map data accurately.

• Secure by design: Features include encrypted key vaults, environment isolation, role-based access, and audit-friendly logs, making it suitable for teams with strict data handling and compliance requirements.

• Real-time workflows: Webhooks for document and list changes, scheduled syncs, retries, backoff, caching, batching, and error handling are built in for reliability.

• Orchestrate multiple tools: Combine SharePoint with Salesforce, Asana, Trello, Slack, and Google Sheets to build complete systems such as unified document-CRM platforms, project document hubs, workflow tracking systems, and content analytics dashboards.

How Emergent Works with SharePoint in Real Time?

STEP 1: Describe your app

Example: "Build a document management system that syncs SharePoint libraries with Salesforce records, creates Asana tasks for document approvals, and posts document update notifications to Slack."

STEP 2: Declare integrations

Say "SharePoint + Salesforce + Asana + Slack." Emergent sets up providers, authentication, and recommended connection methods (OAuth 2.0 with appropriate flow).

STEP 3: Secure credentials

Provide your Microsoft app registration credentials (Application ID, Client ID, Client Secret, Tenant ID) for OAuth 2.0 authentication. Keys are stored in an encrypted vault with environment isolation (development, staging, production).

STEP 4: Select sites and map content

Emergent automatically introspects your SharePoint sites, including document libraries, lists, metadata columns, content types, and permissions.

It then guides you to map data accurately (for example, SharePoint library → Salesforce record attachments, document approval status → Asana task, new document → Slack notification).

STEP 5: Real-time and scheduled flows

Configure webhook triggers for SharePoint events (document uploaded, list item created, metadata updated, version published), set up scheduled syncs, or define on-demand actions such as button clicks in the app.

STEP 6: Test and preview

Run test queries, simulate webhook payloads, validate document uploads and metadata sync, check logs, and automatically handle rate limits.

STEP 7: Deploy

Deploy your app with one click, complete with versioning, monitoring, error alerts, and usage analytics. You can easily roll back or iterate on prompts.

STEP 8: Expand

Add new steps like AI-powered content classification using Copilot, connect additional tools, and integrate new SharePoint sites without any rewrites.
